Thumb South Conference Room

Karlo: Appreciate you all showing up for the Thumb meeting.

Everyone: Yes, Underboss.

Karlo: Good to see so many family members here. Let me count... nineteen seats filled. Looks like everyone made it except one family.

Katriel: The Lumanos Cartel. They claim they're still rebuilding internally after Black Silence tore through them.

Karlo: Still? Thanks for the heads-up. Cut those clowns loose. We don't need a toothless dog hanging around this long.

Katriel: Understood.
